Bold Hair Colors the New Trend in 2013
While some individuals see bold hair colors as a means of
attracting unwanted attention, it seems that there is a fairly wide
group of fashion friendly consumers that will be rocking these bold
colors in 2013. In light of this, it is appropriate to state that hair
colors and hair color trends are a huge part of overall fashion culture.
The following will inform individuals of the most popular hair color
trends in 2013.
The Ombre Look
The ombre look, as defined by stylists, is most seen on people with longer hairstyles and involves a two-toned color trend. Specifically, the ombre look is achieved when the top of the head is a darker color and the color slowly fades into a lighter color at the ends. The ombre look is said by some to be ideal for brunettes. However, blondes and other hair colors can certainly flaunt this look as well. In fact, super stars such as Drew Barrymore and Ashlee Simpson have both been known to rock the ombre look.
Pastels
This year, it seems that pastels have made their way up the ladder to come in as the second new look in 2013. With influences such as pop star Nicki Minaj, or the new drama series, The Hunger Games, bright pastels and subtle bits of color are the new trend for 2013. While some sources say that this look used to only be relevant to the younger age groups, the trend is now being offered to a larger market and is being introduced in most salons. So whether it's a bright pink hair day or a subtle hint of blue or lavender, pastels are just one way that consumers are making a personal statement.
Reds
For a stylish new look that can be both hot and saucy, red is the new pink on the trend list. Shades of red, specifically bright reds, have become part of the new, punkish look that many are trying this year. However, while the bright reds may be too much for some, the more subtle and appealing shades of red, such as auburn or titian, have been seen on faces such as Megan Fox and Amanda Bynes. With that said, it appears that almost anyone can stay in style by going red in 2013.
Mix and Match
Although there are many more choices to choose from, the hair color trends presented in 2013 can be mixed and matched if one color is too hard to commit to. As an example, stylists make the argument that the ombre look could be coupled with the bright red colors or even the pastels. Furthermore, stylists suggest that whatever color is chosen can be put with an ombre style and color can be added to either the top or the ends, if preferred. Either way, the idea of mixing and matching hair colors seems to be as acceptable now as matching shorts with tank tops has always been.
Self-Expression
At the end of the day, most stylists may not be able to agree on what is in or out. However, when it comes to consumer preferences and ratings, most experts can agree on one thing: that many new colors and styles are acceptable in 2013 that were not even mentioned a few years ago. In short, one could say that almost anything goes this year. Whether it's a mix and matching day, or a bright red fun day with self-expression as the ultimate goal, 2013's hottest hair colors are the boldest and the brightest to date.
Whichever style or color is chosen, the 2013 hair color trend options are like no one has ever seen. In light of this, some consumers may only be convinced when celebrities choose to rock the look first. However, for others, the need for self-expression may do the trick all on its own. Either way, it is safe to say that 2013 brings a whole new level of hair color options to the table.

How to Grow Hair Longer
At some point I believe we all want to grow our hair longer -
either because we want longer hair for styling, we have suffered some
loss or thinning, or we experience slow growth.
One of the first ways to grow longer hair is to make sure your hair is healthy. Healthy hair can withstand a little tension without breaking off or falling out. It bounces back naturally and keeps on growing. Look critically at your care regimen and specific follicles. Examine its ends to see if you have many split ends. Also, pull on your hair just a little to see if there is an elastic quality to it or if it breaks off with just the tiniest of stretch. This can best be done when wet. When you comb wet hair, is usually lengthens just a fraction, then bounces back. This is healthy and normal. If wet hair breaks off, you need a little help to restore its health through topical or vitamin supplements. What you can first do, however is to remove the split ends by cutting off a half inch of your hair. This will give the rest of the follicle shaft a better opportunity to grow.
Vitamins For Better Hair & Scalp Health
To get your hair to grow longer, nutrition and overall health is often the key. Your hair follicles, just like the rest of your body, need to be nourished and supplied with all the vitamins, especially vitamins B and E, which lead to growth. Your intake of amino acids is important because amino acids are the building material for the protein in your hair as well as nails. This protein is also known as keratin. Most amino acids are synthesized in your body without you ever needing to do anything. However, there are ten amino acids that cannot be synthesized by the body. You have to get them through your diet. These essential acids are extremely important for overall health as well as the health of your hair. They are gleaned from certain foods rich in 'good fats.' If you are not sure that you are consuming the right types of food, then taking a vitamin supplement is the best solution. Moreover, fish oil is often found to promote healthy skin, hair and nails.
Growing Hair Longer
Hair will grow at its own speed, about a half inch per month on average. In some people, it can grow up to one inch per month. To get the best speed out of your hair growth, there are a few things you can do. One thing that is mostly neglected in addressing the growth of longer hair is consumption of gelatin. Gelatin will keep the outer layer of keratin moist and strong. Keratin is the protein that protects the growing nail from the outside. In hair, the entire hair shaft outside of the scalp is made of keratin. Gelatinous layers around the keratin keep hair from getting brittle and breaking off. By drying hair with a hair dryer, the gelatin will not be able to function as a protective shield because the heat will dry the gelatin and the keratin shafts at the same time.
In Summary
Long and healthy hair is a result of healthy living (or eating in many cases), in which you care for your scalp by having good circulation. This is achieved by daily exercise as well as scalp massages. Eating a healthy diet will provide your hair follicles with all the essentials and supplements they need to grow at an optimal rate. Caring for your hair with good hygiene is essential. Regular restorative treatments and the avoidance of damaging dyes, harsh shampoos, chemicals and heat is the last bastion you need to conquer for having long, healthy hair.
